He seems to be bobbing his head a little out of rythym with teh sword attacks, but I like it overall - Though the wobbly arm would look a bit weird in other sprites, i think it kinda appropriate considering the  'elastic-y' animation style of the cartoon. nice!

Thanks for the comments! philippejugnet: yeah I was initially going to do a final force-feild blast/wirlwind kick thing for the surrounding symbols, But I'm still working on my special effects animating.

Nate K: your edit looks awsome! so much better. I really have to study cloth and how it folds, let alone how it moves. I need to find a way to look into that when i have time.

cool, thanks for the advice, I don't know if it's standard to re-upload a newly-improved image? It said in the guidelines not to keep posting the same image as to reduce clutter.

lol, yes I do mean cliche. My grammar are not the bestest.
